"Until I met this Lord God." Chu Tianhe said, "Guiding people who are lost is exactly what Lord Python God has been doing, and I am one of them."
"Then... I heard about a sealing battle many years ago. What happened?"
Liu Shenghan was quite concerned about this, and did not even investigate the "painter" part of that statement, as if he didn't care about it at all. Because according to the great priest's statement, there seemed to be many discrepancies with the widely circulated version.
This area is really closed. It would be pitiful if there was any misunderstanding but could not be clarified. However, Liu Shenghan did not pursue the question out of sympathy for him.
"Because Lord Python God... does come from another way. It is in the human world, so it naturally has to eat something. But don't worry, it will never hurt anyone. What it needs to eat is just the lonely soul wandering around the human world.
It's just a wild ghost. But at that time, bad rumors spread and people firmly believed that there was going to be a baby.
It is responsible for the evil deeds of devouring the dead alive and digging up the graves of the dead. People also believe that it not only kills humans, but also uses very cruel means or methods, and even makes people kill each other in grief, anger and fear.
End life slowly. For the despair of the soul is also its food.
Food is more attractive than the soul itself." He stated plainly, "... Then someone heard the sound and came. Maybe it was a witch, maybe a mage, but I only knew that she was a woman. She severely injured the python god, and...
To suppress it, the price would be to sacrifice one's own life. However, Lord Python God did not
He is not dead, he is just sleeping underground, trying to find his spirit to communicate with others... So, he found me. It is lucky to say that I just happened to pass by. Presumably what he is looking at is my near-eternal life.
It also saves him the trouble of constantly looking for new agents.”
Qi Huan's chopsticks stopped - from the time he was halfway through listening. He kept frowning until the priest finished speaking. Then he raised his head and stared straight into Chu Tianhe's eyes. But the man's eyes were blurred.
If the water is stopped, there will be no flaw to speak of.
"Why...eat those souls?"
"If the undead keep wandering in the human world, they will eventually turn into evil spirits. At that time, everything will become troublesome. Lord Python God, doing this will be beneficial to the three realms."
"But, what if they are souls who are about to be transcended?"
"Isn't it troublesome to distinguish between these? Lord Python God's subordinates are demonic snakes called Naga. Of course, few people see them. They are always elusive and usually wander in the wilderness. They are not smart.
, will only catch some scattered ghosts indiscriminately. Can you tell whether the meat on the side of your mouth is from a duck or a swan?"
A piece of meat on Qi Huan's chopsticks suddenly fell to the table. Maybe he was not well accustomed to using chopsticks.
Unfortunately, there was nothing worthy of criticism in Chu Tianhe's words. Qi Huan knew that at that time, the Great Tengu had been reduced to a state that was no different from a seal. It would indeed be a bad thing if the children's souls could not be transcended. It was a pity that they could have returned to reincarnation.
The children... He felt a headache, but he could only sigh helplessly.
Then, Chu Tianhe turned his attention to Liu Shenghan.
"What's wrong with you?"
"..." Liu Shenghan opened his mouth, "You seem to know what I am thinking."
He nodded slightly apologetically, his tone apologetic: "I'm deeply sorry if I offended you. To be honest, after I became the great priest of the Lost Land, Lord Python God gave me a special ability: I
I can hear the inner voices of everyone present at every moment.”
Can he hear thoughts?
"That's right."
Jun Aoyan was startled, but she didn't expect that Priest Chu would immediately answer the words in her mind. She was surprised, and even a little scared. This was inevitable. After all, thoughts are a person's privacy, and doing so would indeed be detrimental to anyone.
It's an offense to anyone. But it's not his fault...isn't it his fault? They are not sure. But it's right
As far as they were concerned, no one had done anything untoward, and they were not afraid of what he would hear. They were just hiding it until now, which really made people feel dissatisfied. But at least he said it and didn't continue to lie - he himself
Yes, this can be considered sincerity. On the other hand, Priest Chu, wouldn’t it be noisy and tiring to live like this all the time?
"Although it is sometimes troublesome, most of the time it is beneficial." Chu Tianhe answered the noisy and chaotic voices in their hearts, "I have learned how to distinguish and filter information. What's more, I can come here and find
Mine all need help
People. Even if those people who tell lies accidentally break into this place, we are on guard. Everyone here knows this ability of mine. Even though you are not residents of this place, I am still willing to tell you this to express my feelings.
My sincerity to you all. Then..."
He continued to look at Liu Shenghan, as if expecting her to respond to his question.
"Then you must know what I'm thinking." She looked like she didn't need to say more.
"You really cherish your words like gold." Priest Chu laughed, "So from the first time we met, I knew that you were impermanent. But the friends around you never seemed to have such thoughts at that time.
Consciousness...I guessed that you hadn't told them, at least not at the time. So I kept silent on that issue. But now they seem to know."
"Ah, that's true...thank you anyway."
"You're welcome. And we've met before about two hundred years ago, but not on this island."
"Huh?" Liu Shenghan was a little surprised, "At that time I...I didn't remember you either."
"Of course. Because of the disguise technique, I'm afraid I don't look the same as when I met you..."
Suddenly there was a "pop" sound on the table. They turned their heads and found that Bai Ya's right hand had broken the chopsticks. Even he didn't expect it. He was stunned for a moment, and then he clenched the remaining half of the chopsticks in his hand.
He still seems to be very uncomfortable...and this abnormality has become stronger again. It was obviously relieved a little before, but why do it come in waves? Could it be that the powder left behind by Music Sky before disappearing is really poisonous?
"You seem to be feeling very uncomfortable." Priest Chu stood up with a concerned look on his face, "I'm afraid you have inhaled too much incense."
"You know this?" Others were a little surprised. But when he came back to his senses, he did have a way to detect Xiang Shen's conspiracy. What's more, they were already connected.
Priest Chu nodded and asked people to get some medicine. Then he explained to them:
"You all know the purpose of that incense, so I don't need to say more. It's just that Bai Shaoxia inhaled too much incense at one time and became too dependent on it. Now that it can no longer be found anywhere, there is no way to relieve anxiety. Tobacco,
Addictive substances such as Five Stone Powder and Afurong will also cause similar reactions after being away from them for too long."
A typical withdrawal reaction. Liu Shenghan frowned sadly and handed Bai Ya a glass of water: "That's exactly what I was worried about. Many drugs are also addictive, but as long as you know what kind of drugs they are, there will be some benefits after all.
There is no way. Now, we have no way to know what the soul-taking incense is..."
At this time, someone brought something to Chu Tianhe, and then withdrew. It was a small brick-red pottery bottle. He poured some thick green liquid from it, dripped it into the water glass, and then
He handed it to Bai Ya. Liu Shenghan stretched out his hand to take it, took a closer look at the almost colorless and transparent liquid, sniffed it again, and made sure there was nothing wrong before handing it to Bai Ya.
His hands were shaking all the time, and it was difficult to hold the cup steady, and a lot of water spilled out. After he drank it, although his body was not shaking much, his pupils were still dilated and he had no reaction to the light in front of him. Liu Shenghan said for him
After checking his pulse, his heartbeat was still extremely fast. He just felt a little better, but the root of the problem was not solved. Everyone else left the table and gathered around him.
"That's a sedative medicine, you must know it." Priest Chu said to Liu Shenghan, "This can only give him temporary stability. To completely overcome this disease... without a formula for the medicine, we can only rely on personal will.
Already."
"He can." Jun Aoyan said.
"...Well, it's good for you to think so, but Bai Shaoxia himself doesn't seem to have such a strong desire to survive."
"What nonsense are you talking about!"
Qi Huan immediately interrupted him. He didn't want to hear any more, and he didn't want to hear the thoughts that he claimed came from Bai Ya's own heart. Although he seemed a bit mean to Priest Chu, not only Qi Huan, but no one wanted to know this.
As a result, Chu Tianhe also closed his mouth with understanding and sighed.
After walking for such a long time, they can actually realize to some extent that Bai Ya always takes life too lightly - the same is true for himself, or even more. He will help and rescue for some good purposes.
For reasons, to protect something, or to kill something. Maybe he was always so brave, but he just didn't take his own life seriously. Aoyan recalled the moment when he rushed into the fire.
"...It's not important." Bai Ya gasped and said with difficulty, "None of this is important, so is my life. I just need to...know who did it. That's enough..."
A brief silence.
But before you find out the cause of Shiisa's death, you must not...
"Young Master Bai - Bai Ya, right?"
Chu Tianhe sat opposite him and suddenly called his name. His hands no longer shook so much, but still trembled slightly. Bai Ya slowly raised his head and looked at him with bloodshot eyes. But those tired eyes reflected
Nothing comes out.
Priest Chu sat upright with his hands folded in front of his chest: "In that case, there are some things I want to explain to you. I told you before that I have never met your father. This is half true and false. I want to tell you Miss Jun
It’s true that his father didn’t know about it; but I’ve seen Shaoxia Bai’s biological father, Bai Sha, who is known as the strong-armed Bai Sha.”
"You lied to us?"
Aoyan was angry. However, Bai Ya's reaction was cooler than hers. In turn, he pressed Jun Aoyan to ask her to calm down.
"I'm sorry, that was not my intention. Now is the time when we should trust each other the most. So I think it's better to tell you the truth - we not only met, but also became short-term friends. Since I became a priest
, never left this land again, he brought a lot of news from the outside... In hundreds of years, I have never seen a knight like your father."
Bai Ya just listened quietly. These words made him calmer. He knew that people cannot be resurrected after death, but these news were enough to make him feel a certain degree of comfort.
"I didn't tell you because he didn't want anyone to know about his death. So when I learned that you were his son, I was still a little hesitant."
"His... why did he appear in Xiangji Country?"
"Stolen." His eyes were somewhat meaningful, "Yan? You have an uneasy friend... Ah, but your father's relic - that knife, I will put it together with the python god's treasure.
, to show respect. Yes, that is the Chizhen Pearl."
"We can..."
"Of course, of course." He agreed readily. "I made so many statements and preparations just to elicit this matter. Through our conversations and your reactions, I believe that you are not here to plunder. I also
I hope... after seeing the elegance of the python god's treasure, you can relax and stop thinking about this matter."
